Sharks Use 9 Picks, Make No Splash at NHL Draft
(Originally published at Sports Radio Service)
The San Jose Sharks were poised for a busy draft weekend, but as the weekend wrapped up, they had not made any blockbuster moves. They seem to be close to filling out their coaching staff, but still need a starting goalie and probably another defenseman.
With the 9th overall pick in the 2015 NHL Draft, the Sharks selected Swiss forward Timo Meier. The Sharks traded up in the second round to select Canadian defenseman Jeremy Roy. The Sharks traded a 2016 second round pick and a sixth round pick in 2016 to the Colorado Avalanche for the 31st overall pick. Their third round pick went for American goaltender Mike Robinson. In all, the Sharks used nine picks in this year’s draft. The full list can be found on the Sharks’ website. (more…)

Sharks Prospect Scrimmage Announced
(Originally published at Sports Radio Service)
Wednesday, the San Jose Sharks announced that they will hold the third annual prospect scrimmage at SAP Center on Thursday July 9 at 7pm. Fans will have a chance to see prospects they have not seen before, as well as more familiar faces like Chris Tierney, Mirco Mueller and Barclay Goodrow. The event is an entertaining break to the off-season for fans missing hockey, and a chance to see players who may be with the Sharks next season and many who certainly will be playing for the San Jose Barracuda. Last year, the scrimmage was well-attended and at first glance could have been a real game. (more…)
